Really like it! What a lot of work. I know it's for a bed but it reminds me of picnics! Too lovely to use for that though.

That is one of the most beautiful quilts I've ever seen and you have done an amazing job! Moda has some of the most wonderful projects and I have a notebook full of them. I don't think I've ever done a Moda project that didn't turn out well and their fabric, well 'nuff said.

I made one block yesterday after bookmarking your link. It did take ~30 minutes. If someone is going to make a quilt, it would go quicker as you can chain piece. I like your quilt and just may need to make more blocks. I got a little distracted at one point and cut the wrong side. However was able to fix it with just a little bit of patience. I need to pay more attention to detail when I make more. Thanks again, for posting the link.

I did too. But I went ahead and finished the blocks. I think I did several like that (at the beginning).

I almost threw them into the orphan pile, but after doing more, I decided that even if the weave went under instead of over, once it is constructed into the quilt, no one, and I mean, "no one--not even me" could find it. So I didn't throw the blocks into the orphan pile. They are incorporated into the quilt top you see. I've sandwiched it now and hope to quilt it on Monday/Tuesday.

The first ones took a long time (That is why I so upset with myself for doing a couple of them wrong.) Then I did 5 at a time--then I worked up to doing 10 at a time. I didn't try to work on this one all by itself, because, as I said, it was tedious. I had a couple of other projects going on as well in order to take a break from this one.

I am not sure what you mean by trimming down the 2.5" strips. I used what they called for, only instead of using a jelly roll, I pulled from my clear plastic bag of 2.5" strips--cut from leftovers/scraps. I looked for strong colors that would sharply contrast. Sometimes I made them similarly on one row so I could have several in a row the same colors for added interest.

I sometimes had to make the seams smaller because I am not always the most careful trimmer--but in the end, it all worked out.

I won't straight stitch quilt it though because my problems with not perfectly matching things would show up too much. I'm planning on a large meander which should hide imperfections pretty well.

VERY interesting scrappy quilt top. Be interesting to see how you quilt it.
